Zhenbei Pass!

Now it has become a luxuriant passage in and out, and all the transactions between Liaodong Province and Baicheng area are carried out from here, with a steady stream of people shuttling and streaming, all kinds of merchants, people, and endless streams. [Full text reading. 】

Early in the morning at the end of April, the gate in the north of the town was open as normal, and the caravans that had been waiting for a long time lined up one after another, holding tax payment vouchers for inspection by the soldiers guarding the customs. Although the whole scene was crowded, it was orderly, and every caravan lined up honestly, and no one dared to cut in line or quarrel.

It is impossible to say that these treacherous businessmen are so qualified, and the real credit still belongs to the black-clothed policemen patrolling next to them, and the old thick cowhide whips they hold in their hands are a huge deterrent, and after I don't know how many have been broken, the merchants have learned to line up and learn to wait.

The merchants were lining up, and suddenly a quarrel came from the city gate, and when they looked closely, the soldiers guarding the city gate stopped a pair of merchants rudely, and pointed their spears at the point, and forbade them to leave the city.

Seeing this, the policemen patrolling the street immediately rushed over, and the leader of the team immediately asked loudly, "What happened?" ”

The person guarding the city here was a company commander, his face was pale, and he said, "This person's tax payment certificate is not enough, and he is not allowed to leave the customs." ”

When the police captain heard this, he took the voucher handed over by the company commander, checked it carefully, and his face changed, this voucher is indeed incomplete, there are all the previous audit seals, but there is no financial seal for the final payment of taxes and fees, and the captain has been working again for more than a year, and he has rich experience, and he knows what is going on at a glance.

It must be that the other party did not stamp in order to evade taxes, and he had seen a lot of such things, and immediately his face was straight, and he wanted to reprimand the businessman and take him away for processing.

The merchant is also the role of Lingguang, and when he saw it, he knew that it was wrong, so he immediately arched his hands and said, "My lord, please raise your noble hand, this is the famous thorn of my family, and I want to look at Haihan." As he spoke, he handed over a thorn and a piece of silver.

The merchant acted in concealment, and blocked the silver with his big sleeves and famous thorns, which only the company commander and the police captain who were in front of him could see it. Seeing the famous thorn, the company commander and the captain all flickered their eyes.

Chinese businessmen have always had the bad habit of tax evasion, especially in the Ming Dynasty, after all, they have not paid taxes for more than 200 years, and now they are a little unacceptable when they are implemented hard-lined, so they think of ways to evade taxes.

Those who can patrol such a traffic important place in Zhenbei Pass have a little eyesight, and now the task of taxation is pressed down, and the tax evasion is very serious, so the captain of this kind of businessman's money will not be easily collected, and the last one who collected money indiscriminately has now gone to prison, and he has worked hard to reclaim the land in the original Jurchen chassis.

Therefore, except for the kind of caravans that have been greeted by the top and have internal relations, he will consider collecting money at his discretion, and then let it go gently, as for the proof of the relationship, it is the name thorn handed over by the caravan.

After taking the famous thorn, the captain opened it and looked at it, his face changed slightly, he had heard the name on it, Wu Xiang, the deputy director of the Shenyang Police Department. I heard that it was the city defense army before, but it was driven out because of some style problems, and it was supposed to be sent to Dali Temple, but it was interceded and released.

In the end, he was put into the police station as an idle deputy director, which can be regarded as a retirement retirement. Unexpectedly, he went into business, and now he still wants to evade taxes through relationships.

The captain's eyes flickered, and he looked at the company commander of the city defense army, who was also uncertain, he had also heard Wu Xiang's name, but now he was just an idle character, whether to let it go, or take it, as a little political achievement.

When the merchant saw it, he immediately knew that there was a play, and hurriedly said, "Two adults, my son-in-law is now serving in the hussar army, and has now been promoted to the position of lieutenant battalion commander. ”

The hussars were shocked when the three words came out, the hussars were in Liaodong, the training was also in Liaodong, the first battle was still in Liaodong, his birth and growth were here, the soldiers here are most familiar with the hussars, especially their perverted treatment and equipment, it is really envious and drooling.

A battalion commander under the command of the emperor, this official position is big enough for the two of them, and they can stand out in the field army, and those who serve as officers are not ordinary people.

"My son-in-law is only twenty-two this year." The merchant added.

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making the two of them completely determined to let them go, the battalion commander in his twenties, although not as good as the old subordinates who had followed him since the emperor was still the prince, but he also had a bright future, enough for them to sell well.

"I'm afraid it won't work......... although the police captain who took the initiative wanted to be reassured, but he didn't show it, but he looked embarrassed, and wanted to say something to squeeze some money, so that he risked his life to help evade taxes, which was not enough.

It's just that before he finished speaking, just after putting on a non-negotiable expression, suddenly a chaotic sound of horses' hooves came quickly.

Someone broke through, this was the first impression of the two, but before they could react, a voice shouted, "The army enters the city, everyone retreats." ”

At this moment, you can see the difference between the police and the city defense army, after the voice came, the company commander quickly looked back, and in a second he could identify the identity of the comer-the outpost of the army to explore the horse, and it has not been given, how big are ten, and the army that can have such a luxurious configuration is usually more than 10,000.

"Get out of the way." The company commander immediately shouldered his responsibilities and instructed his subordinates to clear the blocked merchants inside and outside the city gates and make way for the road.

The police captain and the businessman were also evasive, but one was accustomed to it, while the other thought that his master was not big enough to save face, and he was a little anxious and did not know what to do.

If it weren't for the fact that the value of this batch of goods was too high, and the other side was in urgent need, Wu Xiang would not have evaded taxes, but now that he is here, there is no reason to return, saying that he will also go out today, otherwise the loss will only be greater.

Soon after the road was cleared, suddenly the ground shook faintly, and everyone at the border knew that this was a precursor to the arrival of a large group of cavalry, and sure enough, from the city gate, a black line faintly rolled from the sky.

About a quarter of an hour later, the vanguard had already arrived at the city gate, passing one after another, and the military flag waving in the wind and the two words "Dou Da Hussar" made people recognize the identity of the leading force at once.

"It turned out to be a hussar, doesn't that mean that the young master is also in it?" The merchant was overjoyed, the power of the hussars in this land was no longer clear to him, as long as the young master spoke, he would definitely be able to go out this time.

The pure black cotton coat and bright red cloak wrapped around the soldiers, making them look unusually majestic, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves crackling and hitting everyone's hearts like a storm, this scene immediately made everyone be stunned, and looked at the endless army in awe.

This is the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty today, it is really mighty!

This self-confidence rose in the hearts of many merchants, and it also terrified some of the tribal herders who came to trade here.

After the rapid march of the vanguard team, the speed of the troops behind slowed down, and it was only a trotting forward, which also allowed the merchant to basically see the figures in the group.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly, "Young master, young master." ”

Wu Sangui was on the march, the whole person was straight, like a javelin, he was very heroic when he saw it, and he did the most standard and perfect every action, not for anything else, just to let the emperor not far behind him notice.

It's just that when he was shaking his cloak to make himself look more imposing, suddenly a loud shout came from the street next to him, listening to his voice, it seemed to be a housekeeper at home, he remembered that this guy had been running some shops at home, how could he appear in Zhenbeiguan.

He looked at it suspiciously, but saw a scene that made him a little frightened, the familiar housekeeper didn't know whether he had eaten the leopard's gall or what's wrong, he actually waved towards him and ran, this Nima is going to impact the army, and it is not too much to kill.

Even, out of the corner of his eye, he had vaguely seen a soldier raising the musket in the book, in order to prevent the old man in the family from dying tragically for no reason, he didn't care about the superfluous, he quickly broke away from the team and greeted him, proving that this was his acquaintance, and his comrades should not shoot.

Sure enough, after he went out, those soldiers had already put down the muskets in their hands, and even he vaguely saw that one of the soldiers pouted his lips regretfully, regretting that there was no chance to make meritorious contributions.

This expression made his heart skip a beat, Made, now the competition is too fierce, and they are all grabbing credit.

As the battalion commander, as soon as he left the team, several guards naturally followed, and as soon as the number of people was large, it became very conspicuous.

"Uncle Wu, you don't know that I'm marching, what is this for, you were almost beaten to death, do you know it." As soon as they met, Wu Sangui crackled and reprimanded.

The stormy reprimand made Wu Bo a little stunned for a while, and subconsciously argued, "Young master, the caravan at home has been stopped by someone and can't get out, if you can't go on the road today, then the loss will be great." ”

After hearing the reason, Wu Sangui was so depressed that he almost wanted to scold, and he stopped me at the slightest businessman's business, I don't know if the emperor is behind. But he didn't want to say anything, so he wasted time and quickly dealt with the matter.

"This brother, I also hope that the noble hand of the high platform will let my caravan go out." Wu Sangui clenched his fists and said, he is a battalion commander of a field army, and he still has this single face.

"General, this ...... This caravan has not paid its taxes! The police captain said depressedly, it seems that the money will not be available today.

"That's it!" Wu Sangui frowned, this is a bit difficult to do, forget it, go out first, and wait until he comes back to pay the taxes, he was about to say something, but there was a voice behind him that made his soul fly.

"What's not taxed?"

Wu Sangui turned his head stiffly, just in time to see His Majesty the Emperor standing behind him with a cold face, "Your Majesty! ”

He screamed in a daze, called out, and made the people next to him kneel down in fright, my mother, this is the emperor, he is so close to me.

"Wu Sangui, you handle it yourself, others have heard some bad rumors." Zhu Youxiao took a look, although he didn't know what was going on, but it was nothing more than some family matters, and from the word tax payment, he knew that it was related to the recent commercial tax. This is his plan, and no one will be allowed to break it.

Even if he is optimistic about Wu Sangui's ability, after speaking, Zhu Youxiao will leave. Only the kneeling man and the stunned Wu Sangui were left.

Looking at the housekeeper at home, his face also hardened, "This captain, please do business." With that, he followed.

Only the housekeeper who wants to cry without tears is left in place, who the would have thought that he would meet the emperor when he came out to go out to business!
